Afternoon Comments 05/24
Soybean futures were mixed Friday, with sliding July values reflecting the cash market impact (i.e. reduced demand and active producer sales) of the recent price spike. Conversely, gains by the new crop contracts seemed to represent a reaction to the potential for slower plantings later this month. July soybean futures dove 23.25 cents to $14.7625/bushel at the Friday settlement, while July soyoil dipped 0.42 cents to 49.24 cents/pound, and July soybean meal dropped $8.8 lower to $428.2/ton.
